I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have joined this cause. We are nearing five hundred signatures and getting this number could really help put our request on the right desk. You all are the ones driving this forward.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have joined this effort since I started it. If you could send this link to just one or two people who might care, it would help us reach that first milestone much faster than I ever could on my own.

It is unacceptable for a modern 1st world Health Service to allow such a gap in service to occur, and continue. Either provide the service directly, arrange for alternative cover, or redirect funding to enable Private service provision!

Ireland needs to have this service available. if its a question of cost, savings can be found within the existing health services - start with the elimination of duplication of files and records, move towards the introduction of paperless systems for patient records, etc.

As a kidney transplant recipient of many years I know the value of brilliant surgeons. Cop on HSE and do the decent thing & get a Pancreatic surgeon appointed asap.

As an insulin dependant Diabetic I think this could have a big impact on my life in the future. And of my family. This is a rapidly growing disease and is hereditary.
